The flowers represent self, trapped by the shawl (my religion - Islam). It is growing out of the shawl, breaking free. But because it has become so real, the flowers start to wilt (the one in the hand). Thus, it is best for the flowers to stay within the shawl though how unreal it is - in other words, it is best for me to stick to my religious values.
I know it's quite stiff, shall try to work more.
Left is a photo of myself taken two years ago. Middle is done in watercolour on A5 paper, six months after. On the right is done with acrylic on A2 size canvas a year ago.
That has a really nice concept, though it must suck to have something you have to stick to. The painting are really nice, too. I like the shading on the face in the middle one, and the colors on the right one.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
